Pastor's Corner

for Sunday April 5th
Who is running your control room?
Wayne Cordeiro in his book, "Attitudes that Attract Success" tells how on one occasion he was asked to speak at the chapel service at the local jail. He was met at the door by a voice that asked him to identify himself and his reason for being there and then the door was electronically unlocked and Wayne was guided by this voice down corridors and through doors and up an elevator to the chapel. After his message he asked one of the guards if he could visit the control room where his "faceless tour guide was housed". The control room was a small room fully enclosed with bulletproof glass and equipped with several television monitors. A few men were monitoring every doorway and every room and, at their discretion, they allowed people in or out by pushing a few buttons. Wayne then remarks that the thought struck him how dangerous it would be if the wrong person got control of this room. Our heart is the control room of our life. And we can all testify to the havoc that has be wreaked when the wrong person had control of our hearts. God constantly warns us to guard our hearts, in fact He tells us to turn our hearts over to His control. Do a heart check, who is in control of your heart?
